I wanted an easy care, less expensive material for a knitted vest. This yarn worked up well in a cable pattern. The yarn had great stitch definition and very little splitting. It went through the washer and dryer once with no ill effects. I would suggest washing the gauge swatch before measuring as the gauge was slightly different after washing

I knitted a cardigan with this yarn about a year ago. It is soft, has a nice drape. There is some openwork in the pattern Cusco by Cheryl Oberle and I blocked it. It has held the openwork nicely and is very comfortable.

I love this yarn for baby projects. It's sproingy and soft and light, so long as you're knitting it on the right size needlesâ€go too tight and it loses a lot of softness. But I've made several baby items with this and it always works out well. And you can't beat that price!
